A fascinating and impressive read. So much going on beyond simply Sunrise. And with three water plants soon to be operating, the water business looks ready to grow - if the projects work well. This water aspect I like a LOT. One thing we know for sure - the world needs large scale, cost effective water treatment technologies.

A question for those of you who have been here a while, and have a better understanding of the proposed Sunrise plant than I do: can someone please explain what Clean TeQ's 'proprietary continuous ion-exchange processing technology' does in the project - that other proposed nickel/cobalt laterite mine plants (at say AUZ or ARL) do not have? My understanding is that the plan is a fairly standard HPAL set-up. Does the extra tech provide greater metal extraction, and so higher yields for a similar cost than a regular plant? I just haven't seen a clear description of this. Apologies if I've missed something. If so, please point me to the relevant document.

Thanks!

Clean TeQ Sunrise
The Clean TeQ Sunrise Project is an advanced nickel, cobalt and
scandium project in New South Wales which, when combined with
our proprietary continuous ion-exchange processing technology,
provides Clean TeQ with the opportunity to become a leading global
supplier of nickel and cobalt sulphate to the lithium-ion battery
industry. The Project also positions Clean TeQ to provide significant
quantities of low-cost scandium for production of the next generation
of lightweight aluminium alloys for key transportation markets.
